Graft detachment rates in surgeon-cut and pre-cut tissue for DSAEK transported in different mediums.
Article in Acta ophthalmologica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo analyse graft detachment rates after Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) using surgeon-cut grafts and pre-cut grafts transported in different mediums.
methodsA retrospective study of graft detachment rates including 265 surgeries (240 patients) performed between 2019 and 2023. The DSAEK grafts were either surgeon-cut (n = 135) or pre-cut and transported in a dextran-containing medium (n = 82) or in a dextran-free medium (n = 48). All surgeries were performed by a single surgeon (I.G.). The surgeries were categorised according to whether the recipients' eyes had, or did not have, factors associated with an increased risk of graft detachment. Detachment rates were compared for all patients receiving the different kinds of graft, and only for those without risk factors.
resultsA significantly higher detachment rate was found among patients receiving pre-cut grafts transported in a dextran-containing medium (32.9%), compared to surgeon-cut grafts (14.1%, p = 0.002), and pre-cut grafts transported in a dextran-free medium (6.3%, p = 0.002) for all recipients (those with and without risk factors for graft detachment). When analysing recipients without risk factors for graft detachment, the detachment rate was still significantly higher with pre-cut tissue transported in a dextran-containing medium (26.9%), compared to surgeon-cut tissue (8.3%, p = 0.002) and pre-cut tissue transported in a dextran-free medium (3.6%, p = 0.01).
conclusionsThe use of pre-cut DSAEK tissue transported in a dextran-containing medium significantly increases the risk of graft detachment requiring re-bubbling.
